This is accomplished using the ALLOC_GROW macro. 5 cells are initially allocated for the argv array, allowing four actual arguments without reallocating memory. Signed-off-by: Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@xxxxxxx> --- I was a little unsure if it looks better to initialize i = 0, alloc = 0 and do: ALLOC_GROW(argv, i + 1, alloc); argv[i++] = git_path("hooks/%s", name); instead of the xmalloc(). Do some people care about details like that?
